Sappho

"Sappho" — one of the main novels by Daudet. About it, Edmond de Goncourt, in whose honor the main literary prize of France is named, wrote: "Sappho" is the most perfect, the most humane of his books."
At the center of the narrative is the touching love story of young Jean Gossens, a student of law, and Fanny Legran, an older model known by the pseudonym Sappho, which unfolds against the backdrop of the colorful panorama of Parisian society, where the unappealing reality of provincial life collides with metropolitan splendor. Will Fanny, willing to sacrifice herself and despising bourgeois society, and Jean, tormented by doubts, be able to maintain this relationship, which has undergone trials of prejudice many times? Or are their dreams doomed never to come true?..
